Chapter 41: What kind of friend is a boyfriend
"Hello, kid......" Tong Wan squatted down and rubbed Zhao Xiaoli's little head, "Do you want to play with your sister?" β
"Hmm......" Zhao Xiaoli flattened her mouth and shook her shoulders a few times, "Brother...... He asked me to bring this to you. β
Tong Wan looked down and saw that it was a round rainbow lollipop.
Zhao Xiaoli carefully held the candy, her eyes stared at the various chocolate milk beads inlaid on it, and swallowed saliva several times in her pink little mouth.
Tong Wan couldn't help but smile when she looked at her expression that she wanted to eat but had to endure it.
"Does Xiaoxiaoli want to eat it?"
βemmmβ¦β¦β
Zhao Xiaoli lowered her head shyly, and after a while, she finally nodded impatiently.
"Yes."
Zhao Xiaoli's thin little milk voice almost turned Tong Wan's heart into a puddle of clear water.
"Do you want to eat it?"
Tong Wan turned her head and looked at the little boy who had been standing next to her peeking at Zhao Xiaoli.
The little boy rubbed his palms awkwardly and nodded embarrassedly.
"Then sister will help you divide the sugar in half, will you two each have one?"
"Good!" Zhao Xiaoli clapped her palms happily.
The little boy still pouted coldly and did not speak.
Tong Wan took the lollipop and looked up at Jiang Da, who was busy distributing snacks to children, and it happened that Jiang Da also looked at her, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Oh, yours." Tong Wan handed the broken half of the candy to the little boy, "The rest is all our Xiaoxiaoli's." β
Then he handed the other half to Zhao Xiaoli.
Zhao Xiaoli took the half of the candy, and without thinking about it, she immediately put it in her mouth, and after sucking it several times, she licked her tongue beautifully.
"It's delicious!" She gave Tong Wan a huge smile, and the pair of small dimples blinked at her little face.
It's so cute!
Tong Wan couldn't help pinching Zhao Xiaoli's cheek.
"After eating this candy, the two of you will be good friends in the future, you have to protect each other, you know?" Tong Wan took the little boy and Zhao Xiaoli into his arms.
"Is it like my sister and Brother Jiang?"
Zhao Xiaoli's puffy face's face flushed with excitement because of eating candy.
Tong Wan hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"Then is Brother Jiang my sister's good friend or boyfriend......?"
Zhao Xiaoli blinked her eyes, her eyes were full of childlike innocence.
"Brother Jiang is a very good friend of mine, a good friend who is even better than a boyfriend."
Tong Wan stretched out her hand to wipe the saliva from the corner of Zhao Xiaoli's mouth, and suddenly shook her head and smiled, what is she doing discussing her boyfriend with a child? Isn't it a blockage for yourself......
Silently holding his forehead and sighing, Tong Wan took the hands of the two little ones and finally lined up at the front of the line.
Jiang Da saw that the two little guys were eating fragrantly, so he wanted to tease them, so he pursed his mouth and deliberately pretended to be angry and snorted, "The two of you actually stole the candy I gave to my sister, and my brother was angry...... Ignore you......"
The two little guys were eating happily, and suddenly Jiang Da said it so coldly, and suddenly pouted aggrievedly, "Brother, I'm sorry, we shouldn't have eaten my sister's candy......"
"Brother, don't blame Zhao Xiaoli, I'll give my candy to my sister, is it okay......"
Although the little boy was also very aggrieved, he still held back the tears in his eyes, looked up at Jiang Da, and blinked his big eyes to not mention how pitiful he was.
Jiang Da saw that the purpose of the prank had been achieved, so he sneered, squatted down, and patted the heads of the two little ones, his eyes full of distress.
"Okay, okay, my brother is joking with you, Xiao Xiaozhou has done a very good job in protecting Xiao Xiaoli, not only does my brother not blame you, but also rewards you with a piece of chocolate!"
"Really!!"
As soon as the two little ones heard that there was chocolate to eat, the two pairs of eyes immediately stared at two pairs of small grapes.
Jiang Da smiled and took out two pieces of chocolate from the packaging bag and handed one to each of them, "When did my brother lie to you." β
"Yay! We know that my brother is the best! β
The two little ones jumped up and down to take the chocolate, and then happily ran in the direction of the other friends.
The dean slowly walked to Jiang Da's side, and couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder, "Look at you like children so much, why don't you give birth to one yourself!" β
He said as he glanced at Tong Wan's face.
Jiang Da scratched his head embarrassedly, "I don't even have a girlfriend, let alone have my own children." β
"Hey, isn't there a ready-made one, you two are talented men and women! It's intolerable not to be together! β
Dean Chen smiled.
Tong Wan opened the corners of her mouth slightly in embarrassment, chuckled and lowered her head.
"Hey." Jiang Da saw that Tong Wan was a little embarrassed, and immediately waved his hand to the dean, "Dean Chen, don't make fun of me." β
"Hey...... I really can't understand you young people nowadays, it's really ...... to fall in love."
Before Dean Chen finished speaking, he saw a caretaker aunt suddenly running over in a hurry, "Dean......" she stretched out her hand to greet as she ran, "It's not good, it's not good!" β
"What's wrong?!!"
Dean Chen frowned worriedly, "What's wrong with the kid?!" β
"No...... It's not ......"
The aunt who took care of her was full of sweat on her head, "My house's sewer pipe is leaking, and now the upstairs and downstairs are full of water, and the neighbors are looking for the door to make trouble!" β
"Huh?! It doesn't matter! Dean Chen said eagerly.
"It's okay at home, mainly because my man is not at home, and the child is alone at home now, so I have to rush back to deal with it."
"But......" Dean Chen hesitated, "these children will have no one to take care of them at night......
"It's okay, I can do it." Jiang Da suddenly stood up, looked at the dean and then turned his head to look at the caretaker, "You just have to go back and deal with it, it's no problem for me to take care of the children." β
"This ...... It's not good...... "Dean Chen is not too embarrassed to trouble Jiang Da again, but the next aunt has already returned from work, and if the current one is no longer there, the safety of the child at night will be ......
After hesitating for a moment, Dean Chen finally nodded in agreement.
"Oh, thank you so much, boy!" The aunt took care of her as if she was looking at a savior, and she was grateful when she took Jiang Da's hand.
Jiang Dawei smiled, "It's okay, I'm familiar with the children, and it's convenient to take pictures, you're welcome, go back and have a look." β
The caretaker aunt thanked Jiang Da again and again, and then left in a hurry.
Dean Chen was extremely apologetic and brought Jiang Da a pillow and bedding, shaking his head and sighing, "Hey, these children are really lucky in their lives to meet you......
"Dean Chen, you are too polite." Jiang Da took the mattress in his hand and said earnestly, "I am also a child who grew up in a welfare home, and the welfare home is my home, these are what I should do." β
After speaking, he smiled apologetically at Chao Tongwan, who was concerned, "You wait for me, and I'll drive you back immediately." β
"No need." Tong Wan shook his head slightly, "I'll stay with you." β
"This ...... I can't help it! Dean Chen hurriedly stepped forward to persuade Tong Wan, "I'm very sorry to have Jiang Da stay here alone, how can I let you let a little girl stay!" β
"It's okay, Dean Chen." Tong Wan smiled, "I am also a child who grew up in a welfare home, and staying here makes me feel like I have returned to my childhood, which is very warm." β
"You...... Are you sure......? Dean Chen glanced at Jiang Da.
"yes, sure." Tong Wan said seriously.
"Okay, then I'll go get you a bed and quilt."
After Dean Chen left, Jiang Da and Tong Wan opened their bows left and right, and acted separately, one was responsible for washing the children's faces and feet, and the other was responsible for carrying the children to bed to coax them to sleep.
By the time they had put all the little ones to sleep, it was almost twelve o'clock.
The tired arms of the two are not arms, the legs are not legs, just find a place and lie down directly, the weather is not too cold, after the air conditioner turns on the heater, the room is warm and hot.
"Today, I finally understand why the aunt who took care of us back then was always so fierce......" Jiang Da pillowed his head on his arm and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Greet a dozen noisy children in one breath, and it's strange if you don't get angry." Tong Wan lay beside him, carefully observing the movements of the children, and whispered back to Jiang Da.
"Still, I can't forgive her." Jiang Da pursed his lips and said softly.
"Why?" Tong Wan looked at him.
"Because she hit you." Jiang Da said very seriously.
"Huh......?"
Tong Wan suddenly sat up and turned to look at Jiang Da curiously, "Do you remember?" β
"Of course." Jiang Da was like a child angry, and wrinkled his nose slightly, "If she bullies you, it is equivalent to bullying me." β
"Cut." Tong Wan hooked her lips and smiled, "Why are you still as naΓ―ve as when you were a child." β
Jiang Da tilted his head and looked at Tong Wan with a serious look, "Hey, people took a bite of Aunt Guan for you, you see she beat me." β
Jiang Da raised his eyebrows and pointed to the scar on the corner of his eyebrows.
"But, I don't regret it."
He said lightly.
β¦β¦
After a pause, Jiang Da also sat up and sat next to Tong Wan, "Didn't Dean Chen say that he would take the quilt?" Why haven't you come yet? β
"He won't forget......" Tong Wan yawned.
"Sleepy?" Jiang Da stroked the hair around Tong Wan's ears.
"Sort of." Tong Wan rubbed her eyes.
"Then you go to sleep first, cover the quilt, and I'll keep an eye on it for a while."
Jiang Da straightened the futon, pointed with his chin, and motioned Tong Wan to go to sleep quickly.
Tong Wan shook her head, "Then what should you do?" β
"Oh, don't worry about me, go to sleep." Jiang Da grabbed Tong Wan's shoulders and put her directly on the quilt.
Tong Wan was stunned, but still lay down silently......
After a while, Jiang Da was the only one left in the entire room, leaning quietly against the wall.
The pale blue night light was shining in the hazy night, and the faint light of his eyes was faintly swaying, probably only in this silent darkness did he dare to look at her so boldly and madly......
